In solidarity with Asian Americans

The Center for Engaged Scholarship stands in solidarity with Asians and Asian Americans who have been targeted by a wave of racist attacks linked to the Covid pandemic. We condemn both the violent attacks and the more widespread verbal abuse that has assaulted these populations.

Our project of creating a more equal, a more just and a more environmentally sustainable society requires that we combat all forms of racism and marginalization.

We also believe that racism and white supremacy have deep roots in our society and continued vigilance and activism are necessary to create a society in which all can flourish. We will continue to support scholars of Asian descent whose work challenges racism and other systemic injustices.
